Death, Destruction and Disaster

Before shocking events like the ones depicted in this newsreel collection were "caught on tape," they were caught on film. Here, viewers can revisit the ways cinematographers of the past captured the awesome and tragic destruction wrought by both nature and humanity, in shorts depicting the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, tornados and floods devastating the U.S., the Knickerbocker Theater collapse, and much more. 60 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English. Plays All Regions.
